The ruling on delaying Tawaful-Ifadhah for the menstruating Woman and the Woman with postnatal bleeding until after the Months of Hajj

Question :

If the woman gets her menses before she performs Taraful-Ifadhah, what is the ruling? This is while knowing that she did all the rest of the Hajj rites and her menses continued until after the days of At-Tashreeq.

Answer:

If the woman gets her menses or postnatal bleeding before Tawaful-Haji, then she is still responsible for the Tawaf until she becomes pure. So, when she becomes pure, she should bathe and perform the Tawaf for her Hajj, even if it is some days after the Hajj - even if it is in (the month of) Al-Muharram or even (the month of) Safar according to what is easy. Its performance does not have a fixed time. Some of the people of knowledge held the opinion that it is not permissible to delay it until after (the month of) Thul-Hijjah. However, it is a saying that has no proof to support it. Rather, the correct opinion is the permissibility of delaying it. Nonetheless, hastening to perform it is more proper, if one has the ability to do so. If it is delayed beyond Thul-Hijjah, it is accredited and there is no sacrifice required.

The woman in menses and the one having postnatal bleeding are both excused. So, there is no blame on them (for such delay), since they have no power in this matter. Hence, when they become pure, they should perform the Tawaf, whether that is in Thul-Hijjah or Al-Muharram.
